I absolutely love Joe Rogan. Dana white even more. They just speak their minds and it is what it is. I don’t listen to podcasts so I only get the clips of him I see on the internet or on instagram. This is the first I’ve watched his stand up. Shockingly bad. Not remotely clever. Just base obvious jokes. Very political. Really really dumb. I was surprised

It’s probably going to be a rough Monday in the markets.

A really good speech by RKJ and great policy suggestions. Trump's speech coming up later today.

Get rid of it.

I've actually been meaning to broach this topic for a while, just never got around to it. The thread where people were discussing urns and scattering remains spurred me to action, because I am generally curious.I've never noticed it in other states, but I don't typically spend a lot of time driving around in local traffic in other areas. So it may or may not be an Indiana phenomenon...

Not meaning to offend anyone here this may pertain to...But I'm curious when people started to transform their cars into mobile tombstones/memorials? I mean when did that start? I certainly don't recall it at any point of my life prior to 2000 or so. At least I never noticed it before, but now it seems I see one of those "in loving memory" window declas/bumperstickers almost daily...

It' jsut strikes me as weird. Maybe that's just me, and for anyone who might be in that position no offense. But I just wonder if anyone has any background info as to how or when it started?

I actually thought they were handmade, but a google search reveals many examples on Amazon. Is this another example of Amazon influencing popular culture?

There is only one correct answer.

This is a JAMA just-published study from Columbia University.

Almost 5,000 patients were followed. While the median time for recovery was 20 days, 1 in 5 took more than 90 days to be free of COVID symptoms. Several factors were found to be associated with prolonged COVID recovery time. There was a longer time to recovery if you are…

-unvaccinated (the affect of boosters was less clear; the authors state that the boosted patient population was underpowered)
-a woman (Curiously, women report on average less severe illness but more prolonged / lingering symptoms)
-an American Indian or Alaska Native
-a person with pre-existing cardiovascular disease (CVD)
-a person who was infected earlier in the pandemic, pre-omicron

There were other categories with no statistical difference upon time to recovery, including if you are…
-a diabetic (somewhat surprising)
-a person with chronic lung disease (also surprising)
-a person with diagnosed mental health disorders

The paper's conclusions paragraph, verbatim: This cohort study found that 1 in 5 adults infected with SARS-CoV-2 did not fully recover by 3 months post infection in a racially and ethnically diverse US population-based sample. Recovery by 90 days was less likely in women and participants with prepandemic clinical CVD. Vaccination prior to infection and infection during the Omicron variant wave were associated with greater recovery, which was partially mediated by reduced acute infection severity. Results were similar for reinfections. Further investigation on the longer-term prognosis and mechanisms of PCC, including comparisons of multiorgan structure and function before and after infection, is critical to inform treatment and prevention.

I am sure everyone is paying attention, but just in case, the first rocket in our moon/Mars program launches tomorrow at 8:33 AM. This one will carry two dummies around the moon and back. Artemis 2 will carry humans around and back, and 3 will carry humans to the south polar region where we believe there is a lot of water. That is where we eventually could build a base as a waypoint to Mars.

I find it exciting we are back in human exploration. Of course when I volunteered to be one of the two dummies, NASA said I was overqualified as a dummy.

….twin brother must be coaching at Florida State because they, too, are trying to run him between the tackles in their spring game I’m watching. And, no, he hasn’t suddenly put on enough weight to look like Earl Campbell.

If I only had the money to pay the shipping from Tajikistan...

Maybe they'll have Free Shipping later in the early morning...

I think I may have just broken a thousand on my Ignore List with that one...

Ryan Eckley, MSU beats out James Evans, Indiana. Dolman from Michigan was 3rd. Hopefully, James will not have an opportunity to punt much this year.

Michigan's Tracy Smith is hiring Ty Neal who was an assistant coach under Smith at IU for almost Smith's entire coaching career at IU. Neal left IU to become the Cincinnati Bearcats head coach a year before Smith left IU for Arizona State. Neal replaces former IU star player Josh Phegley who has departed.

is hiring former heralded Indiana assistant and Cincinnati head coach Ty Neal as its newest assistant, replacing departed Josh Phegley. Neal was recently a HS head coach, but obviously has strong cachet in the D1 baseball ranks.

Not a great look for Joe and his Administration.


The Biden administration has quietly pushed more than a half-dozen countries to weaken, delay or rethink baby formula regulations aimed at protecting the public’s health — sometimes after manufacturers complained, a ProPublica investigation has found.

In the European Union, the U.S. opposed an effort to reduce lead levels in baby formula. In Taiwan, it sought to alter labeling that highlighted the health benefits of breastfeeding. And in Colombia, it questioned an attempt to limit microbiological contaminants — the very problem that shut down a manufacturing plant in Michigan in 2022, leading to a widespread formula shortage.

“Infant formula companies want to sell more infant formula,” said Marion Nestle, professor emerita of nutrition, food studies and public health at New York University. “The idea that governments are aiding and abetting them in their commercial enterprise over the public health interest is really shocking to me.”

Just "Bogeymen" I presume...

Nothing to see here... Just move along...

I'm curious if any of our far left "friends" recognize the threat having ISIS operatives coming across our borders freely represents...

these Olympic track athletes are good interviews

Trump is actually a lot more intelligent than I ever thought. The U.S. debt issues could be solved if we’re first movers and make a commitment to securing a few million Bitcoins. We could easily do it and it would secure the United States future as the most dominant nation for at least the next 100 years. It’s imperative we do it.
